CROCHET

WRIST &

HEADBAND BA RBA RA SU MME RS WWW .CRO CKNI T . C O M

Here is a perfect heart wrist and headband pattern -

quick and easy.

Basic stitches: Half double crochet, Picot edge.

Yarn: Patons 100% Cotton DK

Hook: 3mm

Gauge: not so important, but I recommend using a

hook half to one size smaller than recommended on

yarn label.

Measurements: will vary depending on yarn and hook

size. Aim for easy fit, this stitch will stretch and cotton

yarn does relax with wear (my wrist measures= 16cms, pink

wristband measures 16.5cm without picot edging)

Terminology: US crochet terms, metric hook sizes.

Abbreviations:

Ch = chain; hdc – half double crochet; BL = back loop;

sl st = slip stitch; beg = beginning, sp = space, st/sts =

stitch/stitches.
